The NOAA Atlantic Salmon Conservation Grants provide funding to catalyze the implementation of locally-driven projects that address priority needs for Atlantic salmon recovery and restoration. Through these grants, NOAA provides funding and technical assistance to support restoration of habitat connectivity and function for the benefit of Atlantic salmon within their current and historical range in New England. The Federal Funding Opportunity (link below) describes the conditions under which applications (project proposals) will be accepted under the Atlantic Salmon Conservation Grants and describes criteria under which applications will be evaluated for funding consideration. Projects are expected to have strong on-the-ground habitat restoration or protection components that lead to long-term ecological habitat improvements for Atlantic salmon, and also provide educational and social benefits related to Atlantic salmon conservation for citizens and their communities. Proposals selected for funding through this solicitation will be implemented through a cooperative agreement.
